gimp-print-cups and a new gateway

Well, that gimp-print thing didn't work. I couldn't find a new printer in the admin tool. Oh well. maybe a reboot will fix it...

What's that? one of the newtwork cards stopped working? Grr... the only thing worse than defective hardware is hardware that works intermittently. Sometimes I really miss my Apple hardware.

Fortunatly the box that has two 10/100 connections hasn't been torn down... I take that, then set it up and re-copy my music to it, and my world of warcraft isntallation. I notice increased transfer speed. This box has a 2.8 GHz P4 a gig of DDR2 ram, and a 160 GB SATA hard drive. 10 MB/sec... Sigh, I'll take it.

Then I move on to trying the same failure of gimp-print, and an internet search leads me to try gimp-print-cups.

Done.

Holy Cow! That works, but there's a bunch of printers, none of which have any differentiation. They're all Epson R300 something-or-other-gimp-print. But, I picked the first one, and the test page printed... but the sheet of paper fed through crooked :(.

Anyway. Looks like I'm good to go, other than needing for ClarkConnect to be based on a newer release of RHEL.
